JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.2 friction

A large drum having radius \(R\) is spinning around its axis with angular velocity \(\omega\), as shown in figure. The minimum value of \(\omega\) so that a body of mass M remains stuck to the inner wall of the drum, taking the coefficient of friction between the drum surface and mass M is \(\mu\), is :

  1. A \( \sqrt{\frac{\mu g}{R}} \)
  2. B \( \sqrt{\frac{2g}{\mu R}} \)
  3. C \( \sqrt{\frac{g}{2\mu R}} \)
  4. D \( \sqrt{\frac{g}{\mu R}} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( \sqrt{\frac{g}{\mu R}} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(N = m \omega^2 r , mg =\mu N\) \(\mu \times m \omega^2 r = mg\) \(\omega=\sqrt{\frac{g}{\mu r}}\)
